After becoming increasingly frustrated with Youtube, I decided to give this a go:) This is the 1st music video from my new album "The Virtuoso." The album marks my return to playing classical crossover music, after a 4 years (!) recovery from a vicious parasite infection. I hope my album can inspire others who goes through tough times.

It was a great honour to work with platinum selling, super producer John Haywood on 2 of the songs on the album; this one and also my version of "Moonlight Sonata." Here is a statement he made:
"When I first worked with Berit and heard her play the guitar I knew instantly she was rewriting the rule book on electric guitar faculty and propelling this instrument 
into an entirely different sound world, totally unique and entirely different 
from what we generally know of the electric guitar. Her unique and classical-esque guitar tone sings and transcends beauty, capturing emotion in such a way that it mesmerizes at every twist and turn of the melody and blends beautifully with the orchestra.
Simply put, Berit has given the electric guitar an entirely new and refreshingly different life form, one which fascinates and inspires when you hear it, and one that for me as a music producer is incredibly fulfilling to work with." John Haywood – Music Producer
